THE SEASON.
Thr effects of the beautiful weather which we have experienced daring the past week are everywhere observable. Perhaps we have not since the settlement of the Waikato had such an early spring, at any rate a September which has witnessed so much growth as has the present month. Trees of all descriptions are budding and blossoming, while in all directions the grass is springing up with aatonish.ing vigour. So far we seem to have altogether escaped the real New Zealand winter weather. With the exception of half-a-dozen di&agreeable daya the season has been one long-continuance of good weather. Nor have we been subjected to much of the high winds usually prevalent at this time of the year. Tho general impression of the more experienced io, however, that we shall not escape payment for our whistle. Bad weather, say tne quidnuncs, we must have some time or other ; if not in July, in August ; if not in August, in September ; or if not then, some other time. As these opinions are based upon intelligent •bservations made for years on the seasons in Waikato, we may look out for theiT verification. In the meantime farmers will nob quarrel with the rapid increase of the feed neceusary for their stock.
